Sanitary and economic issues
Generally, in spite of their small volume (often bottles, vials, etc.), temperature-sensitive healthcare products can have a very high value. This is why maintaining the cold chain for temperature-sensitive healthcare products is critical, from both an economic and a sanitary point of view.
From the pharmaceutical laboratory to the patient, distribution circuits and the transportation of pharmaceutical products are complex: wholesaler-distributor, depository-logistics provider, laboratory, pharmacy, hospital, clinic, doctor, etc.
Every logistics organisation is different but we offer insulated containers to meet every need.
Temperatures
The most common temperature ranges for the conservation of temperature-sensitive medicines are:
- +2°C/+8°C
- +15°C/+25°C
- -20°C
The main challenge is today to find suitable solutions for the transportation of pharmaceutical products in those 3 temperature ranges : take a look at our insulated chest and box ranges.
Thermal protection
OLIVO initially specialised in the food cold chain, but now counts among its customers many logistics providers and healthcare firms using reusable insulated container for the transportation of pharmaceutical products :
Refrigeration
The types of refrigeration offered for the healthcare sector are eutectics and cryogenics:
- Eutectic plates with a selection of eutectic solutions adapted to the healthcare sector, with melting points at 0°C, -26°C and +21°C
- Dry ice capable of maintaining stable positive or negative temperatures
Good distribution practice
All reusable OLIVO insulated containers meet the thermal and hygiene requirements of the healthcare sector. They are easily cleaned and disinfected.
Based on your specifications, OLIVO is able to carry out a thermal analysis of your needs. Depending on the configuration that you choose, OLIVO can qualify your logistics configuration in accordance with the cold container regulations (standard S99-700).
